what I learned in 2008....
1. Funeral Homes are not scary, although if you hide behind a corner in the dark in the funeral home and jump out and scare your husband you probably wont earn brownie points.
2. No matter how many times you forget to feed your fish, some fish are just destined to live forever.
3. That Brad Paisley is one funny dude. I have not been a fan of his up until my recent laugh fest with the song "I'm Still A Guy" Now I don't care who you are, that's funny!
4. When I was pregnant with Anthon we used Lever 2000 soap. I bought it again a couple months ago because it was on sale (i had been in a dove phase for the last 4 years). As I dry-heaved my way through my first tub with the new soap I realised that some things will never be the same after being sick, pregnant, and having kids, such as Subway restaurants, Lever 2000, Thomas the Tank Engine movies, and certain body parts.
5. We need a new rating system for movies. PG13's just cannot be trusted anymore. Hence "Yes Man," HORRIBLE HORRIBLE movie!
6. I learned that my husband doesn't like pork chops. Who knew? not I said the duck. That information could have been useful, I don't know, 5 years ago, because seriously who likes to cook pork chops anyways?!
7. I actually like Asparagus. No really. It is the darnedest thing, for the last 28 years I thought I hated Asparagus.
8. Cinnamon toothpaste, another one I thought I would hate and just love love love
9. If you run 5 miles and eat 12 cupcakes with loads of buttercream frosting all in the same day, do NOT wake up in the morning expecting your 5 miles to show up on the scale. For some odd reason it doesn't.
10. If you (by you I mean me) find your old journals from your college days do NOT read them front to back unless you want to be reminded of what a huge brat you were. Seriously, how was I even allowed around people. So to all of you out there who would have been effected by my bratty era, I apologize IMMENSELY!

Loved the post. Hope you don't mind if I copy. I only remember you were bratty in High School. Oh wait that was me. I also apologize!
This was funny Amy!! But I have to WHOLE-HEARTEDLY disagree with #1. Funeral Homes are the creepiest places on the planet. Now I know that perhaps, you are desensitzed. And that's great for you. But for me....no way jose! (When we lived in St. George they wanted me to play the piano for the ward choir, and they practiced at a funeral home --only in SG!!-- I politely said NO WAY! Then they proceeded to tell me that I was missing out because there was a nice "spirit" there. WHAT???? Wrong answer! No spirits!! The End!!)
Is your fish a beta? Cause ours has got to have a bit of cat in it. With all nine lives still intact!!
Pregnancy smells...spearamint gum, Happy perfume, and I did puke a Cafe Rio salad. It took a while. But I'm back on that band wagon. (That would just be a total tragedy!!)
I hear you on the smells and stuff. I worked at Sabor when I was prego with Easton. I LOVE Sabor but it took me a long time to go back. I had the bratty phase too. It is amazing what marriage and some kids with do to you.
Your blog is one of my very favorite blogs to read. That's the honest to goodness truth!
We love to read your blog. You totally make us laugh. It was great to be around your family this holiday and get to know you a little more. Your kids are darling. Love Jackie & Stuart
So true about the fishey thing!! Our poor fish got no food the whole time we were home for Christmas! I was convince I murdered my fishey and there he was alive and kickin' I'm re-nameing him Thor!
Stupid Beta's (if that is what you have), however my nephew couldn't keep his alive.
Great post. I've been wracking my brain all week for something clever and am coming up with nothing. I may have to copy.
Never thought you were a brat, but I didn't know you in college.
